currently diagnosing issues on a high mileage 1982 Seca 550.

Hello, I am trying to find info on either getting a key or finding info how to get the tumbler number for my power lock chain and saw you had posted a set for sale sometime ago (comes up in my searches on google).
Any help would be appreciated.

I'd like to post a link (printables) to an STL file to 3D print an XJ1100 middle and rear dipstick. I'm not a premium user, and not looking to become one. I just want it out there in case someone finds it useful. Even if I try to reply to a thread on dipsticks it get blocked as spam. What is the best way to do this?

Hi there, what's shaken'? Every time I try to post a reply, I get an error message. It says my content looks like spam when I'm just trying to get my bike rollin'. Can you help? Thank you!

Hey Hogfiddles, do you still run the shim pool? I am going to be checking my valve clearances here soon and if any are out of spec I'd like to use that pool. Thanks!

I thought I had a line on an exhaust collector for a 900 Seca. But the owner decided not to sell it. This leaves me desperately searching for a collector as the input connections have rotted away on mine. any help would be appreciated.

Hello everyone. Please ask your technical questions in the forum. I'm not the only person who knows how to make motorcycles work.

Hello! I was wondering why I can't post? It wouldn't let me, saying it was too "spam like"?

Hello, I'm looking for a write up on how to add mileage to my replacement xj650 seca speedo.
New speedo is ~7k so I need to ADD mileage to reflect the actual ~13k mileage.
Would you be willing to email me a procedure?
Does it explain how to get the bezel off? Looks like someone tried to pry the one off my old unit.

Hey hogfiddles, I am an idiot and bough an XJ 550 Maxim tank for my SECA. Shes been sitting in the grage for a year or so and I've been slowly getting everything patched up on the bike (she was in a dire state) and I saw you posted about tank swaps. You mentioned I would need to either need an extension forward or the front mounting cups would need to be moved, how would I go about doing that?

THANKS IN ADVANCE What's the difference between
xj750 RK&
Xj 750 RJ

Retired trucker. Trying to make a mild bobber out of my 1985 maxim 700.

Hi! Can you help me find a wiring diagram for the left handle to connect the horn, turn signal for a 82 yamaha xj650 maxim?
Appreciate it. Can't get to the main manual website any longer, says it can't be found, only takes me to the forums. How can I post to the forums?

Hogfiddles, I saw an old posting where you had mentioned a registry for the XJ900. I have an 83 RK, two actually but one needs considerable work. How would I go about accessing the registry? I’m down near Kingston, NY by the way. Thanks.

Hey @hogfiddles! Just making contact here per our earlier exchange.

Hey SnoSheriff! Nice to meet someone from MB in here!

Starting tuneups after a rather dormant winter

Hi Mlew, I was looking at some old posts and I saw that you had rebuilt some xj1100 rear shocks. I have some Seca Turbo shocks that look very familiar and I was wondering if you could direct me to some information that could help me. Thanks

I saw your writeup on the gauge swap. 2 questions how are the gauge bezels removed and ultimately the lens? P/O said they replaced the gaskets, looks like they pried the bezel all the way around. Is this the correct/only way to access the insides?
Also, how is the silk screening on your indicator lights so nice? Most of my lettering is rubbed off. Is there a way to redo it?
FWIW, I have an 82' xj650 seca.

Hi. I would like to send you my 1982 clean but never 'rack-broken' Seca 750 carb for a complete overhaul. I would then drive to your place to pick it up. Please let me know if it's possible.
Thank you.

Hi SQL Looking for the ignition fuse on my 1986 XJ Maxim X All I can find is major fuse right off of Battery. I'm losing 2 volts from battery to either coil.

Hi Carl - new to the forum and looking for some help with a 82 XJ750 Seca. Do you still work on older bikes? If so let me know please. I'm over my head with bringing this bike back to life.
Or if you have a recommendation of a shop I can take it to. I live in the Metro Detroit area. I really appreciate any guidance you can give. Thank you Motown

Just off a 900 mile ride through western CO, including the Unaweep-Tabeguache Scenic Byway, last week

OK, maybe I am missing something, but I am not seeing how to post new content to the forum. I am able to post to existing threads, but not start a new thread.
A little help would be apprieciated.
